Groot Constantia

Groot Constantia can lay claim to be South Africa’s oldest brand. The wine farm was established by Simon van der Stel in 1685. By 1709 there were 70 000 vines on the farm producing 5,630 litres of wine.

Today Groot Constantia wine is sold in eight countries, continuing an exporting tradition from the early 1700s. Once the acknowledged favourite tipple of Napoleon, Sir Walter Scott and King Louis Philippe of France, Groot Constantia is mentioned in one of Jane Austin’s works and features in a Rimbaud poem.
